#### _<mark style="color:orange;">Q: How often can I change the mint price for my subdomains?</mark>_

_A: You have complete flexibility. You can_ [_change the price as frequently_](../subnames/subname-store/adjust-the-minting-price-of-your-subnames) _as needed to align with your strategy or market conditions._

{% hint style="info" %}
Gas Fees Consideration: However, it's important to remember that each change in mint price is processed as a transaction on the Ethereum blockchain. This means that every adjustment incurs a transaction fee, commonly known as a 'gas fee'. These fees can vary based on the network's congestion at the time of the transaction.
{% endhint %}

Strategic Adjustments: Therefore, while you have the freedom to change prices often, it's wise to plan these adjustments strategically. Consider the current market conditions, your long-term goals for your subdomains, and the potential impact of fluctuating gas fees on your overall costs.
